State Route 70 begins just east of Newnan, Georgia at Millard Farmer Industrial Boulevard (S.R. 34 Bypass) and ends at Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway (U.S. 78/278/S.R. 8) in northwest Atlanta (Bankhead).
Upon reaching the southwestern portion of Atlanta, in unincorporated Fulton County, S.R. 70 turns into Leroy Johnson-Fulton Industrial Boulevard (between I-20 and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway/U.S. 78). At this point it is very heavily traveled, widening to a six-lane parkway. The state highway passes by Fulton County Airport at Charlie Brown Field.
Once S.R. 70 reaches Campbellton Road (S.R. 154/166), it merges with the aforementioned roadway. The state highway follows Campbellton Road to the intersection of Fairburn Road (S.R. 92), where S.R. 70/154/166 merge with S.R. 92 south. S.R. 70/154 split from S.R. 92 at Cascade-Palmetto Highway, continuing south to South Fulton Parkway, where S.R. 70 splits from S.R. 154 and turns west onto the parkway en route to its original routing at Campbellton-Redwine Road.
